Ingredients
- Beef sirloin
- 1.5 pounds, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Red onion
- 1 large, cut into wedges
- Bell peppers
- 2, cut into 1-inch pieces (any color)
- Olive oil
- 1/4 cup

- 1 teaspoon
- Paprika
- 1 teaspoon

Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
- Add the beef sirloin cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's well-oiled to prevent sticking.
- Thread the marinated beef cubes, red onion wedges, and bell pepper pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating the ingredients for an appealing presentation.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef reaches your desired doneness (medium-rare is approximately 135°F).
- Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Feel free to substitute the beef with chicken or shrimp for a different take on skewers.
- Serve with a side of tzatziki or chimichurri sauce for added flavor.
